An employer does not need to state reasons for firing an employee. Business is just business and it is just capitalism. Google is a business and it is a capitalist system. The employees making noise, should remain silent or else they can be fired for being disruptive.

Does the US not have any protections for employees? I know for a fact that firing an employee without reason here in the UK would be illegal and that employee would be able to sue for compensation and would win. And considering that Americans are the ones famous for suing for... well literally anything... I`d be quite surprised if they weren`t able to do the same.

Of course there are. Some states have more protections than others, but even if the most employer friendly state, you can't fire someone because of their religious beliefs, political views, etc. You can fire that person for poor performance or breaking rules, but there's a minimum burden placed on the employer.
